What's the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of 19 and 23?

Answer

LCM of 19 and 23 is
437

First common multiples: 437; 874; 1,311; …

437 is divisible by both: 437 ÷ 19 = 23, 437 ÷ 23 = 19 — and 23 and 19 share no factor but 1, so no smaller number is. As a common denominator: multiply the top and bottom of x/19 by 23 and of y/23 by 19.

19 and 23 are coprime (GCF = 1), so their LCM is simply the product: 19 × 23 = 437.
